The 184th Paratroopers Regiment "Nembo" (Italian: 184° Reggimento Paracadutisti "Nembo") is a unit of the Italian Army based in Livorno in Tuscany. Formed in 1942 and during World War II the regiment is part of the Italian Army's infantry arm's Paracadutisti speciality. On 1 October 2022, the regiment's name, flag, and traditions were assigned to the Command and Tactical Supports Unit "Folgore" of the Paratroopers Brigade "Folgore".

The 184th Infantry Regiment "Nembo" was formed in August 1942 as the Royal Italian Army's fourth paratroopers regiment. The regiment was assigned to the 184th Infantry Division "Nembo", with which the regiment deployed to Sardinia. After the announcement of the Armistice of Cassibile on 8 September 1943 the regiment joined the Italian Co-belligerent Army and fought against the Germans in the Italian campaign. In September 1944 the remnants of the regiment and of its sister regiment, the 183rd Infantry Regiment "Nembo", were merged to form the Paratroopers Regiment "Nembo", which was assigned to the Combat Group "Friuli" and equipped with British materiel. The Combat Group "Folgore" then entered the front on the allied side and fought against the German forces in Italy until the end of the war.
